And...Is Team Obama On The Rocks?

icyfroth — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 01:23:06 GMT

THEY are the epitome of a successful high-profile marriage but speculation is mounting about the state of Barack and Michelle Obama's union.

According to The Sunday Times , a flurry of tabloid reporting in the US about unspecified marital problems is threatening to overshadow the First Lady's upcoming 50th birthday celebrations.

Some of the speculation appears to have been sparked after Michelle remained in Hawaii to spend time with friends while Obama returned to Washington with their two daughters from a Christmas break last week.

Sad to hear - if it's true. As is any marital breakup imo.

Isn't Michelle allowed to have time off? It's a huge job - First Lady - very tiring I'd say

I've spent heaps of breaks with friends away from my husband, more so as the kids got older. We're still going strong.

I almost expected the link to lead me to New Idea. Instead it refers to stories from "some less reputable US papers, most notably the National Enquirer".

Mr Elephant and I must be in deep doo-doos then. I left him all on his own over Christmas to go gallivanting off to Queensland!

I wonder if Michelle really was in Hawaii or whether she was secretly shacked up with Tim in his caravan.

Oh, wait though., that can't be true, can it, he's gay.

that she stayed in Hawaii with friends could also mean that they are very secure in their relationship.

we never go absolutely everywhere together all the time

Wouldn't you also rather stay in Hawaii with friends rather than going back to freezing cold USA if you did not have to?

Just because she stayed in Hawaii with friends, doesnt mean her marriage is over, surely she is entitled to a little holiday on her own.

Slow news day for the US ...she was shacked up at Oprahs house.
Must be nice for her to have a break from her official life.

I'm waiting for the rumours to be aired on Fox News - then we'll know for sure that they're all lies.
